Matrix Games Forums

Will there be a sticky wish list thread like in the WITP forum?

Here are some items (mine and others from the board):

*) Better pathfinding! Waypoints!! [&o]

*) Better LOS tools and indicators. The ultimate would be to click on a unit and the map darkens where it can't see. But even just a better line tool would be good.

* Ability to hide and set engagement range (cones of fire would be great as well).

*) Ability to target maingun/coax separate from hull MG.

*) Smoke for artillery.

*) A 'face attacker' or some such command for the Reaction Phase.

*) Some indicator of ammo status besides the lack of a selection on the menus. Something in the HUD would be nice.

*) A way to highlight all units on the map. Preferably friendly/allied separately.

*) Destructable buildings. If I pump enough HE rounds into a place it should catch fire/collapse.

*) A place in the interface to load alternate setups for missions. (i.e. some sort of randomized/varied enemy placement).

*) Add echelon left/right to Regroup options. Heck add Vee while you're there as well. [:)]

*) I could go for more battle sounds and ambiance.

*) Timeline replay slider.

*) Movable Bino view. The Bino view is great but it seems locked on the turret facing. The ability to stay in Bino view and pan left/right would be great. [[DONE!!]]

Lol the games hardly released and already someone is wanting MORE hahaha!

Oh it's all old hat now. Been out almost a full day.  [:D]

LOL You guys are nutso's [:D]

When is the expansion coming out?! [X(]

Actually, havinf a wish list come out so soon is a good thing for the game makers, now they can target just what to do in a any updates or expansions to keep the masses happy..
 
Happy is good right?

The list also helps folks who have not played yet see what they can expect, or not expect.

Great Expectations though should not be expected.[:D]

One can hope, somehow you seem bitter ?? [:D]

I'm not being negative. I LIKE the game. Doesn't mean it should not/can not be improved. We all know it will be improved either in patches or expansions. I'm just expressing my preferences. If they don't get done I'll live.

Hope is fine!! [:D] Great Expectations is another thing.[:D]

My biggest wish..... The input of some MOD tool, that would randomize the position of flags, and Units. I briefly looked over the editing instructions, and it seems if you know how to use a XML editor(which myself, i have no clue), then modding scenarios wont be all to hard. With a tool that somehow, you can just set it up, to randomize flag placement and unit placement from map to map, would make the replayability much more...I REALLY HOPE that somehow either the Devs, or the mod community can make this happen.

All in all, i really like this game much more then CM, but not having a map, n Battle generator, is gonna make the game grow old quick(for me anywayz)..

I wish Matrix would give me a 10% rebate on all the money I am spending on their games lately. [:D]

I like what I hear on this and will take the plunge.

After playing my first game, all I can ask for is a slight improvement in atmosphere sounds, maybe sound distant gun fire or something instead of just the wind blowing..

Otherwise, great game!!

Just FYI, this is already in there. Just use the middle mouse button when in Binocular view. Click it and you can pan around, the scroll wheel will change magnifications.

Given the speed of phases (at least when I play) this is screaming for TCP/LAN support. With some chat of course - "hey, I need to yell at my kids" - "ok, I'll take a couple more looks at the replay".

Also, would be good if in that mode, could record the whole game, so that one could go back and watch it, grab some screens and make a nice AAR out of it.

The phases are so quick, I think have to do email would waste some significant time.

Minor request - make the timeline of the phases a slider for the camera. As is, (as far as I know) you have restart the replay from the start of the phase everytime you want to watch something again.

tcp/ip multiplayer. Every single friend I've tried to get into this game will not buy without that multiplayer option.

I have to agree with the above..Ammo is my biggest concern, maybe it is just me but for the life of me I cannot seem to see where the ammo amounts are !?!

Read the manul and still no help, maybe a simple status if you simple hover the pointer over a unit ?? ( health/skill/ammo) would be very cool..

Still a great game for me and I enjoy it as is..but it could be so much more
